Powerful Paintings by
Walt Gonske
By Rebekah Powers | September 2021
We at the expanded Chimayo Trading Gallery are currently showing newer works by Walt Gonske. He comes to our gallery with a cadre of collectors, a legion of fans and a sphere of influence that precedes him and emanates out in all directions.
He may be the hardest working artist you have ever met. Starting with commercial illustration, he moved into watercolors and eventually found the groove that would define him in oils. Braving the elements to paint on location, his style began to crystallize, becoming looser and more dynamic with each passing year.
Today, he stands at the apex of his long career, a virtuoso who paints with assurance, a master in his element. His formal training, his vast experience and the brushwork that makes him one of the most recognizable of all Southwestern artists are all on full display in our historic gallery.
Come in today and see what success looks like when you experience the color, texture and pure grit of a Walt Gonske painting. Meet the artist himself Friday night from 4-7. His easy smile and gentle personal power are also why he has become an idol to some, a mentor to many, and a friend to multitudes who admire and collect him worldwide.
If you have had a memorable experience with us in the past,
